32 Apr 22 Comment The reason I asked: In many photo clubs, the definition is what they want it to be, and as a oftentimes photo judge, it complicates the business. Apr 10th

32 Apr 22 Comment Nicely composed and with very good lighting/shadows/sharpness. Apr 10th
32 Apr 22 Comment A different composition/POV..... refreshing. The sunlight makes it work. I too recommend shading out some of the people and retaining and enhancing the individual who is looking up. He gives the image a story instead of a record.

32 Apr 22 Comment I think the full ferris wheel is the image that we see often, so to excise a small portion is a refreshing treat. Stephen's and Diana's comments about re-doing it but retaining the lower right is a positive suggestion. Nice contrasts. Apr 10th
32 Apr 22 Comment I think the four "first responders" all agree on the composition. Tom's increased contrast is, IMO, an improvement. Apr 10th
32 Apr 22 Comment Tom and I seem to prefer the "old photo" version of the two shown. As a "try it" you might take the original and convert to BW, but not have the round framing. Apr 10th
32 Apr 22 Comment I prefer the mono, although the color has possibilities in certain venues, such as might be found at the Christmas Holidays. Well done.

32 Apr 22 Reply I'm not sure, so this is a question ..... Is monochrome one color and white? Or can it be one color and Black? Apr 10th
32 Apr 22 Reply Yes, it was taken with black and white film to fit the vintage scene. The original was very sharply contrasty (already a Chairoscuro) so I felt I would make some slight enhancing adjustments to give it a "contemporary to the times" appearance: grain, Vignette, and the Nik Classic Camera pre-set. Although not much was done to it, I didn't think the original was a representative photo of the times of the mining town. (It fell to ruin many years ago.....in the film era.) It's a long way from anywhere and one has to have a reason to go into this area. It was quite prosperous in its time and even had an "Opera House," which is another vintage subject for another day.
